we all talk strategy, but against crappy oppenents does luck increase

lots of chasers and passive players will definetly increase your variance, but also increase your long term profits. If you play with people who will call with bad odds, you'll make a LOT of money off of them in the long run. back when I played $25NL, I won a lot of big pots from players called pot-sized bets on the flop and turn, just to fold on the river when they miss.
